1.55 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

One transparent green emerald weighing 1.55 carats, presented in an asscher octagon shape with faceted cutting, measures 7.06 x 6.10 x 4.76 mm. The stone displays intense color intensity and an excellent polish, attributes that enhance its table view and faceted brilliance. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which indicates minimal internal characteristics that do not detract from visual appeal. Enhancement is standard, a common and disclosed practice for emeralds, and the gem is sourced from Zambia, an origin known for producing deeply colored, high quality emeralds.
